Casting medallions for beginners

October 5, 2017 – Each year, the Department of Materials Science and Engineering gives its graduating students a bronze medallion of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology seal.

These medallions are entirely prepared, cast, and finished by students in the Merton C. Flemings Materials Processing Laboratory using the lost-wax/investment casting process. All are welcome, no experience necessary. This video gives an idea on how the students experience working with molten metal.
